Wisdom International School for Higher Education Studies (WISHES) is recognized by the Philippine government through the Commission on Higher Education, Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (CHED-ARMM) as an accredited institution of higher learning for higher Islamic Studies (Diploma, BA, MA and Doctoral degree programs) and other degree programs (MBA and DBA) relevant to professional growth, well-balanced personality and ultimate success.

WISDOM -- a word synonymous to knowledge and the translation of the Arabic word "hikmah" referring to the Prophet's Sunnah in the Glorious Qur'an -- is an acronym for World Islamic Service for Developing Outstanding Muslims (WISDOM). This is the theme of Wisdom Enrichment International Learning Program (WEILP) a project initially started in 2003 as a non-degree Islamic Studies online program of the Wisdom Enrichment Foundation (WEFOUND). Alhamdullillah, after two years of operation, WEILP has officially become the Wisdom International School for Higher Education Studies (WISHES) offering BA, MA and Doctorate degree programs in Islamic Studies specializing in Aqeedah (Firm Belief), Islamic Personality Development and Da’wah according to the Qur’an and the Sunnah.Students who will graduate in this educational institution are expected to have the right aqeedah (belief) and/or eeman (faith), develop the characteristics expected of Muslims according to the Qur'an and the Sunnah, and do righteous deeds for the sole pleasure of Allah the Most High.  In this way, they will be able to do da'wah (inviting people to Islam), enjoin the right and forbid the wrong so that in the sight of Allah the Most Merciful they become outstanding Muslims.  They will be among those successful Muslims who will attain Allah's Mercy -- worthy of His everlasting rewards.  Allah the Only True God and Sustainer says:

“You (practicing Muslims) are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind.  You enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and believe in Allah...” (Qur'an 3:110)

“Allah has promised the believers, men and women, gardens under which rivers flow to dwell therein and beautiful mansions in gardens of everlasting bliss.  But the greatest bliss is the Good Pleasure of Allah: that is the supreme success.” (Qur'an 9:72)

“And he who brings the Truth and he who confirms (and supports) it—such are the men who do right.  They shall have all that they wish for, with their Rabb (Cherisher and Sustainer).  Such is the reward of those who do good: so that Allah will remit from them (even) the worst in their deeds and give them their reward according to the best of what they have done.” (Qur'an 39:33-35
